u-he Presswerk: Music compression with analog soul

u-he Presswerk is a complete dynamics processor designed to offer the musicality and flexibility of the best hardware compressors, combined with advanced digital features. It is not a simple emulation, but a true creative toolbox for controlling dynamics: from glue on drum buses to transparent vocal compression and aggressive, characterized effects.

Advanced functions and dedicated modes

Presswerk includes six custom views to optimize your workflow: Drum, Vocal, Bus, Limiter, Easy, and M/S Compressor. Each mode provides a simplified but powerful interface to work effectively. Supports internal sidechaining with high-pass and low-pass filters, built-in parallel compression (New York style), soft clipping and Dry/Wet mix.

Dynamic modulations and analog saturation

Its unique features include three signal detection topologies (Feed-forward, Feed-back, Interactive) and Dual Phase Rotator function to improve signal symmetry and increase headroom. The saturation section allows you to add color and grit, simulating tape overdrive or giving a vintage warmth to the track.

Optimized workflow and customizable interface

The GUI is scalable from 50% to 200% and fully skinable. With over 120 ready-to-use presets and MIDI Learn support, Presswerk fits perfectly in any production environment, from composing to mastering. It is the ideal tool for those looking for a powerful, musical and flexible compressor.

Compatibility and Technical Requirements

u-he Presswerk is compatible with macOS (10.10+), Windows (7+) and Linux, in AUv2, VST2/3, CLAP and AAX formats. It requires a compatible DAW and a modern CPU to ensure the best performance.
